About the Center

Hazel donated her home in St. Augustine, Florida, to continue the work she and her husband, Alan Kay, began in 1990.  The Hazel Henderson Center was established for creative minds to continue to share groundbreaking concepts and effect change. 

The Center is an institution that celebrates and embodies Hazel’s spirit and contributions while advancing knowledge, activism, and community for an ethical and green economy for future generations. 

We welcome changemakers focused on integrative solutions for environmental protection, social entrepreneurship, and ethical governance. This includes student and scholar access, mentoring, retreats and meetings, and advancing the Ethical Markets Media portfolio of assets. 

How you can engage with the Center:

  1. Apply to participate in our Innovative Studies programs

  2. Apply to host a workshop or meeting 

  3. Apply to become a visiting resident

  4. Apply to visit the library

  5. Sign up for the Ethical Markets Media weekly newsletter

Upholding Hazel Henderson's legacy, these program areas emphasize integrating ethical practices into the economy, recognizing the inextricable link between humanity and the environment. By promoting innovative ideas and solutions, we aim to restore balance to our world.

A key aspect of these program areas is their commitment to being a physical space, fostering deep connections with each other and nature. This approach ensures that sustainability, innovation, and ethical practices are lived experiences, enhancing collaborative learning and personal growth.
